To all whom it' may concern: of the supporting' portion of the latter,

ln assembling the' parts, for application to the shaft, the unthreaded end of the bushing l bore of the inner casing-element, the Width of the slots in the bushing being such as to permit of a sui'licient contraction ofthe parts of the bush to permit the unthreaded end lto pass through.

Freni the construction described, itl Will be seen that while the threadon the Bange is coarse and deep, the conical sup orting portion of the bush is comparative .y thin, and

not of a diameter to demand .a bearing larger than necessary tosupport the load to be sus` tained. .As a result, there'will be less liability of the thread stripping, and the nutl the cas1ng-elernentpand bind the parts t0- gether with corres onding firmness.

1. ln combinationivith a support, a -con-l Atractile conical bushing thereon,- a threaded annular flange on the bushing, a nut on the threaded flange, and an anti-riction bearing including an inner casing-element ada ted to be passed over the unthreaded end o the bushing, and-surrounding the bushing in position to be acted on by the nut.

2. In combination With'a support, a conical supporting portion, a threaded annular iinge on one end of the supporting portion /and extendingoutwardly beyond the adjacer-1t surface of the same, a nut on the flange,

ner 'casing-element adapted to be passed over the opposite end of the'bushing and be seated on t e supporting portion thereof in position to be acted'on bythe nut.

, 3. In combination with a support, a bushing surrounding the same, an annular threada nut on the threaded flange, and an anti-friction bearing including ari inner casing element arranged to said nut adapted when screwed on ina - HENRY Hass. Witnesses: i'
